## Library & Tooling Updates

### FemtoVG

![femtovg](femtovg.png)

[FemtoVG] is a 2D canvas API in Rust, based on [nanovg](https://github.com/memononen/nanovg).

Currently, FemtoVG uses OpenGL as a rendering backend. A Metal backend is 95%
done, and a wgpu backend is on the roadmap. The project is definitely looking
for contributors.

Unlike NanoVG, FemtoVG has full text-shaping support thanks to harfbuzz.

FemtoVG, just like the original NanoVG, is based on the _stencil-then-cover_
approach presented in [GPU-accelerated Path Rendering](https://github.com/femtovg/femtovg/blob/master/assets/gpupathrender.pdf).
